Terms of Service

These Terms shall apply to all relationships between Users and the Company regarding the use of the Services.

In addition to these Terms, the Company may establish rules and individual provisions (hereinafter referred to as "Individual Provisions") regarding the use of the Services. Regardless of their names, these Individual Provisions shall constitute a part of these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms conflicts with the provisions of Individual Provisions, the Individual Provisions shall take precedence unless otherwise specified.

User registration shall be completed when an applicant agrees to these Terms, applies for registration through the method prescribed by the Company, and the Company approves the application.

Users shall properly manage their User ID and password for the Services at their own responsibility.

Under no circumstances may Users transfer, lend, or share their User ID and password with any third party. If a login occurs with a User ID and password combination matching registered details, the Company considers it as use by the registered user themselves.

The Company assumes no liability for damages caused by third-party use of User IDs and passwords, except in cases of intentional misconduct or gross negligence by the Company.

Users shall pay the service fees separately specified by the Company and displayed on this website for paid parts of the Services using methods designated by the Company.

The Company does not explicitly or implicitly warrant that the Services are free of factual or legal defects (including safety, reliability, accuracy, completeness, effectiveness, fitness for a particular purpose, security flaws, errors, bugs, or infringement of rights).

The Company assumes no liability for any damages incurred by Users arising from the Services. However, if the contract between the Company and the User regarding the Services (including these Terms) qualifies as a consumer contract under the Consumer Contract Act, this disclaimer shall not apply.

Even in cases specified in the proviso of the preceding paragraph, the Company shall not be liable for damages arising from special circumstances caused by default or tort due to negligence (excluding gross negligence) by the Company. In addition, compensation for damages shall be capped at the amount of usage fees received from the User in the month the damage occurred.

The Company assumes no responsibility for transactions, communications, or disputes arising between Users or between a User and a third party in connection with the Services.

The Company may change the content of the Services or discontinue service provision without notice to Users, and shall not be liable for any damages incurred by Users as a result.

The Company may modify these Terms at any time without notice to Users if deemed necessary. If a User uses the Services after changes to these Terms, the User shall be deemed to have agreed to the modified Terms.

The Company shall appropriately handle personal information obtained through the use of the Services in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

Notices or communications between Users and the Company shall be conducted through methods specified by the Company. Unless a User submits a change notice in accordance with the method specified separately, current contact information shall be deemed valid, and notifications sent shall be deemed delivered upon transmission.

Users may not assign or pledge to a third party their status under the usage contract or any rights or obligations based on these Terms without the prior written consent of the Company.
